Go to the following web site that has it recorded. At 4 minutes into the video, hit pause then use your right arrow key on the keyboard to move frame by frame. It actually looks like both cars moved simultaneously but Kurt's red light was on and the pre-stage and stage beams were out before the car moved.

Also, just because nothing on the car is lower than 3" doesn't mean the guard beam can't be activated due to misalignment of the beam or some other reason.

You can bet your ***** if it was a Force or Schumacher car something would have been done by Dim Light.

I was filming my uncle make a run at Dallas 2005 and he was timed out in like 4 seconds. I was right behind the car with the starting lights in view and we could clearly see him and the lights. Same thing, he got screwed but he told me he keeps the proof and they have it for later. The behind the scene stuff that I'm sure happens. My uncle now drives the Lucas oil mustang in Pro stock. I'm sure Kurt is pissed but will get his later, we won't know. Sad part is they won't say that the machine failed.
